These trees are numerous in the West Indies.
and it is from there we get supply. The
beans are brought hither in the pod and put
through a regular manufacturing process TO
produce the chocolate cakes that we use. The
first operation is the breaking of the husks and
separating them from the kernels by blast of
air. Then the beans ground with sugar by
revolving granite grindstones. The stones
heated, and the oil contained in the bean makes
the mass adhere and become thick paste
This pulp is now partly dried and the air bub-
bles are squeezed out In press, and it is trans
ferred to the cooling tables. Here. it is beaten
and worked by hand to produce even texture
and fine grain. Then it is placed in moulds a
blast of cold air IS turned on, and in q few mo-
ments the beautiful glossy tablets are finished.

demption of trade dollars will expire ON the Sd
of next month. The amount redeemed up to
date is little ovex~ 2. 400. 900. The number of
these dollars estimated to be held in this country
by the director of the mint, in his report to
